TIE NEARING OF TIE EEATpREs.

The convex or rounded eye, says
a writer in the New York World,
denotes strength. Small eyes belong
to mechanical, scientific and exact
people. The eye most readily
brought to a focus serves this class
of minds best. Large-eyed persons
receive sensations wildly and lose
them almost as readily. Further our
author says: 81 cannot think any
person entirely frank and well-prin-
cipled who is narrow between the
eyes. History shows no man of
eminence with this popularity.
Short blunt, full noses belong to
artistic and musical people--Parepa,
WiIheImj, Lucca, Annie Louise
Carey, Arthur Sullivan, for exam
pie. The musical ear is adapted
to receive sounds, standing ont from
the head, of good size and red from
the supply of blood, which increases
sensitiveness. The reader may try
these signs on people he knows best,
remembering that DR.. John Cross, a
wise Scotchman, says: 1T rests with
physjognomy to detect the imposter
he cannot prevent an organ from
falling by sclf-accommodating power
into color, size and shape mos,
suited to its function. :"

THE FIRE ALARM,

About half past Z O'Clock last
evening, the fire alarm sounded, the
district indicated being the Fish
Market. a rush was made in that
direction, and the fire was found to
be in the forecastle of the =. G. n.
Co.'s schooner Waoli. 1t was
merely an incipient fire, and the
damage done was slight, only n
little bedding being damaged, and
the ceiling charred. A few buckets
of water promptly applied, soon ex-
tinguished what bid fair TO be the
nucleus of big blaze.
Another incipient blaze on
Richard street was smothered by
three members of the No. Nolun-
tecrs, whose action displayed pre-
sence of mind accompanied by
prompt action.

Gcntil Bellini. Venetian painter,
was invited by Mahomet II. 10 Con-
stuntnople, where he was COM
,maOd,d to paint for the monarch n
picture representing the bcheading
OF John the Baptist. When the
work was finished, the grand scig-
Nor, while doing ample justice to
the skill of the painter, nevertheless
pointed out one mistake in the
painting, viz, that he had not sulii-
GENTLY observed that when a man is
beheaded the skin is slightly drawn
back at the edge. To prove this,
the Sultan called for slave, whose
head he commanded TO be struck off
on the spot, and shown TO the artist.
Bellini acknowledged himself per-
fectly satisfied of the truth of the
remark, but was so horror struck ut
this method OF criticiscism, that he
lost no time in getting away from
such country and such a master,

A Terrible Accident !
Two MGN Killed at
MilaUea, Kauai.

The steamer JAS. Makce, which
arrived this morning from Kappa,
brought tdings Of a terrible acct
dent at kiauea Plantation From
what can lie ascertained, though the
steamer did not call at kiauel, il
il appears that number one centd-
iugal machine burst and TWO men,
Mcssrs. Hermanson and Fries,
were killed. The last named was
terribly mutilated, his body being
cut in two, and his arms torn off,
while the former had his skull cut
clean off. Great DAMAGE is also
said to have been done TO thc mill.
An inquest was TO have been held
on Sunday last, the coroner not be-
ing on the spot at the time, but at
IIanalei. These men were Finland
ers and only arrived in August last.
Hermanson had been on the planta-
ton previously as n shipped hand,
saved money and proceeded home
in 1880 for the purpose of marrying.
Having accomplished his object, he
returned last year with young
wife and several OF his friends and
relations to whom he had recon-
mended kilauea as a place where
they would find congenial employ
mcnt. This same Hermanson was
a valuable servant, and II man on
whom Mr.. Macfe placed implicit
reliance. He leaves young widow
but no family.
Mr.. Young of the Honolulu Iron
Works says this is only the second
accident of a serious nature that has
happened since centrilugals were
patented and operated here.
MIR. Maclic is at present ut the
Lava Flow. We are indebted to MIR.

placing their children in school on

THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN JUBILEE CE.
LIBERATION.

The beginning of a series of celc-
brations in honor of the jubilee year
of South Australia was recently
made with great display. The Gov
ernor gave an ut home to old pio-
neers and other old colonists, of
whom a great number attended. The
proceedings were characterised by
simplicity and heartiness. The Old
Colonists' Association provided n
show of relics, having historical as
ISOLATION with the colony, A con-
vcrsatious followed in the Town
Hall, which was absolutely too small
for the throng who attended. The
Governor and suite were present.
Sir Henry Ayers, president of the
Old Colonists' ASSOCIATION, gave an
eloquent address, full of valuable
historical reference, showing the
wonderful progress made by the
colony during 30 years settlement.
The Governor was present, and read
the following kilograms from the
Secretary of State to His Excel

Spirits of the Water.

The Russians believe that the Rusalkas,
or water spirits. are beautiful maidens
who allure passers-by, and if they catch
them tickle them 10 death in their Crys-
tai halls below the waves. During one
week in the year they come To men for
clothes, and rags .ld Threads are accord
inglv hung on the trees for their benefit.
During that week. for fear of offending
the Ru-alkas and being punished 10y the
loss Of POULTRY or cattle. no one must
work or sew or wash linen. When girls
are drowned they become Rusalkas and
the wives of the watery Nodyany, and
when snow melts into fools. OF mill
dams are carried away by swollen tor
rents, men know that IT is due 10 the
matrimonial revelry that always attends
the celebration OF marriage between a
mortal and a spirit of the waters.
This idea Of possible relations between
water spirits and human beings seems "A
very obvious corollary Of the idea Of hu-
manlike beings resident in the water.
The idea Of their marrying mortals is at
least as reasonable as the idca Of their
drowning them or tickling them to death.
And with the idea of such marriage il
would be natural to connect the idea of
some benefit to accrue therefrom 10 the
water spirit. as well as of curious Condi-
tons involved in the marriage contract.
Thus would arise such stories rs those Of
Undine or Mrlusina.
